Kuwait's Higher Committee for Syrian Refugees Relief during the humanitarian campaign
AMMAN, July 3 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's Higher Committee for Syrian Refugees Relief began here on Friday a new phase of a staged humanitarian campaign to relieve war-stricken Syrians, distributing USD 100,000 worth of food parcels to the refugees.
The food supplies, destined for Syrians in need in Amman, Al-Mefreq and Al-Aqaba, are being handed over under supervision of a field committee comprising representatives of the International Islamic Charitable Organization (Jordan), the Kuwaiti Social Reform Society, the Jordanian Al-Takaful Society and the Jordanian Donors Society.
Fahad Al-Rashidi, the head of the Kuwaiti expedition, told KUNA during launch of the campaign in Amman that it had actually began last winter, expressing gratitude to the Kuwaiti donors and His Highness the Amir for guiding such humanitarian action. (end)
